Music: The Civil Wars

I know that I have posted about this band before, but with their album going on sale this week, I was able to get it and give it a full listen. This was one of those where there was some hype around it, and I was just hoping that it would live up to that. I was also nervous because mellower acoustic-based songs are not something that I tend to listen to over and over.

BUT this album is amazing! There is something about the harmony of voices that is really just gripes you. This album is soft, gentle, dark, moody, loud at times, but it seems to resonate at some deep level and move you, over and over.
